As part of Governor Wolf's School Breakfast Initiative to help more children start their day with a healthy meal, he announced that $900,000 from the inaugural round of grants will help 200 schools make breakfast available to all students and expand options for the children.
Out of the 200, that were announced statewide, Gillingham Charter, Pottsville, will receive $4,620.00.
Today, one in five Pennsylvania children struggle with hunger. To address the problem, the Wolf administration in 2016 set a goal of ensuring that 60 percent of students who benefit from free and reduced priced school meals also participate in school breakfast by 2020.
